Members Scotty Posted September 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 I think that Rodney witnessed the attack on Melinda or something...maybe I'm just crazy. I've been sort of zoning in and out while watching OLTL lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 But is it an ending? I thought we were implied that Eli would continue to pop up for some time to come. Yaye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted September 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 You know by now that, as far as OLTL is concerned, things aren't always what they seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 Wow I knew Madame could be dirty but not THAT much (of course I only saw2 some of her horrendous sitcom and the BIZARRE appearance she has in the bizarre black gay 70s film Norman Is That You which TCM randomly showed a few years back--after I had long read how unintentionally homophobic it was in The Celluloid Closet--I assume you've seen it--it's a gem!) Actually Madame and her umm "host" were pretty dirty... If only lately, that were a good thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 BTW what happened to Kelly's British "friend"? Was that meant to be part of a Todd triangle that never happened? Or was he meant to be a red-herring as to who the real killer was (if so, and I suspect he was, he was probably the WORST red herring I've ever seen on OLTL, which is saying something--I doubt anyone even slightly suspected him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 Carlivati claimed that he was written out earlier than anticipated because the audience didn't like him. I have my doubts about that as he was not on the show long enough to really test audience response, since the show films far in advance, and also because negative audience response has never stopped OLTL before.

Members Vee Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 I think Ron is lying about Reed and Eli. A friend told me they had some serious names in mind for that Reed role, like Sebastian Roche or something, maybe he was bullshitting but whatever the case I think they miscast, that role tanked and they scrapped it and went with what people were actually responding to: Blair and Elijah Clarke. A strategic move perhaps, but it torpedoed B&E on the show. And they could've used having that couple in their back pocket when it is inevitably time to [!@#$%^&*] around with Todd and Blair again, something none of us look forward to though Todd and Tea are nothing special either. Unless a paradigm shift is in en route with Roger Howarth - and God I hope so. But I really liked Matt Walton, I wanted him with Blair permanently. I don't understand why they mangled two popular alternate pairings for Blair (Ross and Eli) in under a year. Something must be changing BTS and they didn't know which end was up. I don't understand how Ford can teach his brother's class, or that of the underage girl he fucked. His sexploits have been all over local news. How is he still employed? At this point I'd be more intrigued if Marty or Kelly began an activism campaign to get him fired, and wound up [!@#$%^&*] him in secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 I've only seen a clip of the Norman movie on YouTube, Red Foxx, right? Yeah, Wayland and Madame, quite a pair. It felt so weird, everyone going back to school today with their little messenger bags. And that mini-seed of James and Gigi being planted, that was kinda random and weird. He's gonna make Twee'col jealous. Langhorne looks like a Real Housewife with that new 'do and I really wish they'd just quit with her and Ford. Ford can be good, but then he has these weird OTT kick-ball-change acting moments with weird faces. I dig Matthew, that's my boy. I've said this at least three times before, but that first day they wrote him as being a snarky little dick to Bo and Nora was the best thing that ever happened to the otherwise snooze of a character. He's my favorite youngin' on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 Exactly, I don't buy that. He was barely on as is, and in the low budget thread people claim OLTL films sooo far in advance--which would mean fans could barely react to one or two of his appearances before he was gone. (though I guess he lasted longer than some "failed" OLTL characters like the drunk professor who flirted with VIcki, Mark LaMura was wasted on for 15 mins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yeah, what they did with Mark LaMura and Kevin Dobson was criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 Amen. I liked Matt a lot with Blair too until he turned bad which (and I don't really blame the actor) just isn't working--even keeping in mind how awful his story now is, he plays bad, well *badly*. I guess there's no other way to do some of this material... Yep. And that aside I don't buy for one second he'd have the credentials to go from reality tv show producer to ta to full tennured PROFESSOR so quickly (of course this is the university that just hired Christian, so who knows...) I completely forgot about DObson as the GOvernor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 2, 2010 Members Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yes! ANd Pear Bailey (well as a cameo and singing the song). You have GOT to see it--it's not on DVD but TCM shows it in the middle of the night sometimes. There's a great write up with pics here: http://www.cinemademerde.com/Norman_Is_That_You.shtml +1 I'm pleasantly surprised they're giving him story and not just dropping him cuz he's not a Ford.
